Meat Platter

✦

Most of what goes on this platter was raised within an hour of the restaurant. The beef, chicken, turkey and lamb come from farms around Barrhead, Westlock and Neerlandia, and the game from Ribeye Butcher Shop. We roast, cure and braise it ourselves. It is made for sharing on Friday nights, and the price per person comes down as more of the table joins in.

Where the meat comes from

Local farms around Barrhead, Westlock and Neerlandia raise the beef, chicken, turkey and lamb. We buy close to home because we can see how the animals are raised, and because it tastes better.

Ribeye Butcher Shop, an Alberta butcher with shops around Edmonton, supplies our game alongside Alberta pork and poultry.

Ingredients change with the season and what’s freshest.
